Thanks. I got a stream going. It's just annoying that I pay all of this money for DirecTV, Center Ice, and the Sports Pack, and I'm still blacked out when I shouldn't be. I'm not in the Pittsburgh viewing area (they redrew the lines before last season which is why I had to get Center Ice last year). I'm on the phone with them now and of course I'm talking to a representative who prior to my call didn't even know hockey was played professionally.

Here's the deal. Since I'm apparently now considered part of the Columbus viewing area (news to me and also ridiculous considering Pittsburgh is actually closer to me than Columbus), it's blacked out. But, Fox Sports Ohio is not broadcasting the game. Long story short: I'm screwed for these preseason games against Columbus.
